June 2012 Highlights!!!!!

What an event!

-First of all special thanks to Jackie for taking good care of me when I hurt my foot.

-I really enjoyed getting to help perform research Friday night with Lady Cassandra, and everyone else. We were scrambling through bits of paper with notes scribbled all over them. Thanks to Steve and Judge for providing something for us to really dig into with our roleplay.

-When Gideon started to cough up blood I felt so helpless and afraid.

-The infected little girl at the window of the Baron's manor who drove us all out of the building. That image was burned into 'Lotta's mind. It bothered her so much that she asked a Psion to suppress the memory.

-Speaking of Psions, Sam Robert's NPC was lots of fun. Oh, Intensify. How I love thee. Probably the most fun Carlotta's had in a while actually.

-I thought my cards were failing me for a moment on Friday night, but I went on to give two very poignant readings. Really being able to engage PCs with my fortune telling is always incredibly satisfying to me.

-Spire Mod. Carlotta wasn't sure she was going, and I'm not sure her reasons for finally choosing to do so were the best ones, but I'm glad she went.

-On sunday I finally got my Amulet. Thanks to everyone who helped out. I loved the rp of taking part in a ritual. You could feel the tension. Also, Gideon made my day by volunteering to be the sole donor of magic points in order to minimize the number of people involved in the ritual. "I'm willing to take that risk for my students." Could Carlotta look up to Gideon any more?

-Playing Marigold was a joy. Not only because she is so different from Carlotta, but also because she allowed me to interact with characters that Carlotta never would, and so I got to role-play with a wider range of players.

-It was also interesting to see where my two characters overlapped. I still got to spend time hanging out at the forge, because when you're a Berserker with a broken weapon, the smiths are your new best friends.

I almost forgot! Feast was fantastic. So hearty and delicious. That shepherd's pie was just what I needed to keep me going. I shamelessly shoveled several helpings into my belly. Thanks to everyone who braved the kitchen in this sweltering weather.

I have to say I adore NPCing full time when I can and this is one of the events that perfectly explains why.

~Getting zombied up right before lay on--all that blood just got everywhere. Then slamming against the door as soon as Lay On was called with Katie to hear the screams of horror from the PCs--priceless.
~Being that zombie that sat around nomming body parts, other zombies, and just pissing off various PCs when I would appear in random spots licking the forearm like it was an ice cream cone. (fake blood tastes so good)
~Judge grinning and laughing OOG when I was brought down to Alissandria on Saturday to be cured as a zombie--once again given body parts to nom. The RP beforehand with my boys down by the Caravans was priceless even if Heat Object shouldn't work that way, it still was BRILLIANT. Judge saying "oh by the way, you remember everything. I know you're a twisted mo-fo so I'm gonna love it. 3-2-1 lay on" then completely losing my shit. Elawyn is the best soothing person ever and playing that NPC was made all the more awesome with all the kindness that was shown to her. Bagwell cleaning off her face after saying "the first step to being human is looking human" and people trying to comfort her. Later seeing my boys again as the same NPC and Shane's gypsy not only giving her money, he also gave this adorable little bracelet that is supposed to be a symbol of protection. That RP was wonderful. 5 minutes more with you and she might've joined your vardo.
~Judge declaring we are getting KR married with a big hug. Best compliment EVER.
~Tommy as the littlest ogre on Sunday. That kid is just too cute and sassy to ever say no to.
~Lizardkin Stalker--proof on why if I am given a rogue class, I would be the biggest dick with hide in shadows, cloak of the green/skin of the chameleon, backstabs, and assails.
~Dire Tamiral Boar on Sunday. Normally I hold back from going all out as a fighter since I don't like using my OOG skills with blades but the moment people realized I was the Tamiral Boar and they all wanted my armor, I just went at it. Sorry if I hit a little hard and Belegchand--wearing red just begs to be impaled. Especially when you put your back to the woods. *giggle*

My biggest highlight were the warm welcomes back by so many. I was there too short a time this event to see everyone (or for everyone to notice I was standing there ) but I hope to reconnect with you all soon.

In spite of some IRL fun with heat exhaustion, I had an absolutely fantastic weekend.

First and foremost, thank you Rachel and Mal for taking care of me when I stumbled into the Monastery building after the cleanup hold, bleary and slurring my words and trying to tell you guys that I was just gonna get a drink and go do my camp cleanup. I probably would have PTFO if you guys hadn't made me lie down. THANK YOU. You're wonderful friends and I love you very much.

Friday night:
Spire mod. Saying my goodbyes beforehand, and writing a letter to Ridigan just in case my soul got dragged to the pits of Malyc and I never came back. Seriously heart-rending stuff that had me in tears on more than one occassion
Then the actual mod itself. Remi realizing that she's not quite the weakling she used to be.
Finally, coming back from the mod with NO PERMS. Remi has never felt so invigorated in her whole life. (so much so that I couldn't sleep, actually.)

Saturday:
Hookah at We-should-be-sleeping-o'clock, and great conversation surrounding it.
Hunting wolves. Too bad they got away from us.
Agaurran mod. Remi going from sweet and fluffy to fierce and PISSED in under 5 seconds. "LEMME AT EM!!!" Not to mention her little bit of Lyric of Suggestion mischief at the end, which culminated in a very awkward marriage proposal.
Going with some low levels to deal with some tribal goblins (and the guy they had tied up) and discovering that she's still pretty squishy.
Great RP with my baby sister~~~!!!!!!! Mary, I missed you playing Marigold SOOOO MUCH. Now you just need to be at the same event as Tom so we can have hilarious "I'm Remi's sister and you have to earn my approval" RP.
Protecting Tris. Damn, I was SERIOUSLY scared.
Getting seperated from main mod due to a potty break and being terrified of every single sound I heard in the wilderness as I tried to make my way back to somewhere.
Also, feast was delicious. OM NOM.

NPC shift:
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. SUMMONING ALL OF THE GHOULS. You poor kids in the inn. Your screams of pain really invigorated me. I'm surprised none of you heard me giggling outside the inn..... because if you had, that wave of OH GOD ALL THE DEVOURED LIMBS probably would have ended a lot sooner As it was, we finally decided to let you be because our shift had been over 30 minutes beforehand. Love you!

Sunday:
Gideon's demand for grandstudents. and Carlotta's really epic card reading, which, weirdly enough, was perfect for my character.... and also me, OOG. o.o'' Yeah, that happened. How weird is that?
Also, I've learned that if I don't answer my phone during game, my boyfriend shows up in the parking lot Sunday morning. This is totally NOT incentive for me to answer my phone in the future. lmfao.

Also, I told this to Judge at the start of the event, but seriously, when I found out Judge was running the event, I very nearly almost turned my car around and went home. I'm glad I didn't, and my fear was entirely well-founded in the reality of how absolutely terrifying this event was, in particular main mod and Friday night right after lay on. You guys did a GREAT job.

Also Damien, it was GREAT seeing you!! Come back more!!!

Remi I had a great time RPing with you. I'm sorry if I creeped you out.
